Title: [ANN][POOLS] Proportional Payout Pools with 5% Finder Reward
Post by: MarKusRomanus on June 11, 2013, 10:02:45 PM
We have been running a bunch of mmcFE based mining pools that are PPLNS and are very dissatisfied with the problems we have with them not paying out correctly.  After tweaking and reworking the code, we finally gave up on fixing it.  Our new pools have a totally rewritten core code and we think you will all like what we have now!
UPDATE: (9/7/2013) - We've released new 2nd Generation Vardiff Pools!
UPDATE: (1/25/2013) - We've vastly improved our stats and hashrate calculation code to run much faster.  

Proportional Payout Per Block - You are payed after a block gets 100 confirms (confirm number varies for the different coins) and the payout is based on your shares ratio to the total shares for the block.

Finder Reward - The Worker that finds the block solution, gets 1-5% of the block (varies for each pool)

Strike out pools  - discontinued for lack of interest.
Pools so far:

NEW VARDIFF 2nd GEN POOLS:

These new pools use our latest code core, database, and vardiff stratum server...

Proportional Payout Per Block - You are payed after a block gets 100 confirms and the payout is based on your shares ratio to the total shares for the block.

Finder Reward - The finder for the block gets 5% of the block

FastCoin     - http://fast.ub3rl33t.com/

DigitalCoin  - http://dgc.ub3rl33t.com/

More to come..

I tested your fastcoin pool, something is not right with this pool, it does not show valid shares, I just received 28fst in 8hours of mining, in http://fast.minepool.net/ I received 300fst in 6hours, this was an excellent pool, now closed. currently do not have choices of pools for this coin, I'm back to mine wdc.

You have to be mistaken, i reviewed the payout history for the pool and its working correctly. What was your username?  What was your hashrate?


Title: Re: [ANN] Proportional Payout Pools with 5% Finder Reward
Post by: MarKusRomanus on June 12, 2013, 03:33:27 PM
I just looked up your username in the minepool.net pool and the ub3rl33t.com Pool.There is no way you made 3000 in 6 hours at the minepool.net pool.  your 2734 reward at the minepool.net pool was after 3,640 blocks.. that was not in 6 hours.. Especially considering that your hashrate was only around 50khs . In the ub3rl33t.com pool you have on record mined for 136 blocks, Payout ranging from 0.02159026 to 1.1 coins per block.  Please revise your statement.  The new fastcoin pool had a payout error during its maiden launch that was corrected and then payed out.  You were mining during that period and your payout was sent.  in addition, the minepool.net pool had 4 times the hash rate as this new one.  Come back and try again, you won't regret it.

Can you please respond?  You grossly exaggerated your experience at minepool.net to make a negative comment about this new pool.

Yes!  stay tuned to this thread.. We are going to add many more pools.
5% of the block is removed when it is confirmed and given to the pool finder, as well as the reward that miner earned with share ratio.
So, basically the rest of the pool miners are getting their share ratio of the block amount - 5%.

That's sick.

Finally something good for the block finder :)

Like Hazard said, make a SBC pool too. I'll alternate between the two.

Post by: nearmiss on June 12, 2013, 04:09:24 PM
Is this a desired feature?  Given block finders (on average) would be the higher hashrates, and already earning the higher incomes for that hashpower, would you not be (again on average) punishing any smaller miners at your pools?  Especially if you have a small handful of mega-hashers and a bunch of (relatively) smaller ones.


Legit question, because I've got a few massive hashers at a couple of my pools, I'm sure they'd love this, but it seems shitty for everyone else (which would be the majority of miners at the pool. They'd lose way more on the 5% per block than they'd gain by fluking into solving one)

That's true.

I guess make the block reward proportional to hashing power?

Even the medium guys hit the block here and there.  Its fair the same way that its fair that someone with the resources to put out such high hashpower get more coins anyways.  maybe its not meant to be fair, just different.  BUT.. I'll consider that for future coding ventures.

I'm hoping the pool will be attractive in that it is very accurate with payouts, not like the mmcFE pool it was derived from.

But medium/small miners join pools for exactly this reason. Because they can't compete on their own against the big boys.  Yes they can fluke into it, but wouldn't they be solo-mining if they thought that'd be profitable for them?  They are guaranteed to lose 5% earnings per block vs. the much smaller chance of them hitting a block.  Not trying to trash the idea, I was actually just wondering if other miners out there liked the idea and thought it had merit.  

Good luck with the pools!

I agree with what you are saying.  Some will not find it attractive , some will.  Anyways , you got me thinking about other ideas.

Yes they are all stratum.  StableCoin pool is up!  check top of thread.
I was able to get this one up first since I already had the client running on the server.  WDC will be up once the client updates.

Don't act like that.. tell me your username and I'll tell you where it went.  I sent out like a week later all outstanding balances.

Everyone who contacted me after that was paid.  Everyone else I sent out the coins to the address given in the account.

Post by: MarKusRomanus on June 12, 2013, 08:31:33 PM
Hey, here's an Idea.  Each round some percentage of the block, say 3% is saved into a lottery that is randomly given out to a miner who has been at the pool for at least a certain number of rounds to qualify for the lottery. The lottery would occur once every 5 rounds.  I like the idea.  And to be in the pool there would be requirements that would promote staying in the pool. Or maybe in addition, a piece of the pool's donation fee is given out at regular intervals.

Just to be clear, reward when I find a block is

A) [ (ratio of shares submitted to total pool shares ) * (block reward) ] + (5% * block reward)

or

B) [ (ratio of shares submitted to total pool shares) * (95% * block reward) ] + (5% * block reward)


????

If it were the other way, The pool would bankrupt pretty quickly!

Tried again for a few hours, not had much luck, this pool is good for power miners. for low miners fast.minepool.net is by far the best, I find many blocks there.
Thank you for reactivate it.

I thought it would appeal to people.. i have another idea for a pool similar but that is fairer in that it will bank a small percentage of each block and then reward it randomly to a miner out of a pool of miners who meet some qualifications.  Not sure what qualifications will be, but 1 would be that they at least were involved in the last 5 blocks.. or something like that.  OR.. just no extra bonus, just pay per block.

 The big change in the pool is the core code.. it is much more reliable and accurate than the old mmcFE code.  I just did not want to write it as pplns.

How about PPS? would love to join a PPS pool :)

Also, how about some sort of payout mode settings for each worker? I've seen this kind of thing implemented on some pool. I forgot the name, but there you can choose what kind of payout mode you want in the workers settings (in that pool, PPS or PPLNS).

Did you reach out to them? I had a small issue on one of the pools and sent an email.  Within in an hour Markus had it fixed and adjusted, so I find it rather hard to believe nothing was done.

Yes I put that advisory on the ub3rl33t pool because the server that pool is on is slower by 10x than the new pool server which has fast.minepool.net.  Also the code has been revised again for more user stats.

I mined the DGC pool for 5 days. There were two major problems.

Firstly, I found 48 blocks and never once received my block finder reward. I emailed you and you responded that you would look into it, but that apparently never happened. My next email wasn't even acknowledged.

The other much bigger problem is that there would be segments of time where mining seemed to be going smoothly when I clearly wasn't getting any credit for it, every day, sometimes a few times a day. I have multiple examples here that anyone can verify.

Between blocks 157,247 and 155,475, 10 hours elapsed. The website was up, and my miners were chugging along just fine, indicating that they were properly communicating with the server. However, once block 157,247 was found it said there had been 38 shares in those 10 hours. Keep in mind that with my 1900kh/s rig, I clocked in at greater than 1000 shares an hour on this pool, sometimes hitting 500 in 10 minutes.

Again, from block 162,648 to 162,147, 2 hours elapsed but it said there were only 166 contributing shares once block 162648 was found. Again, my rig by itself puts in more than 1000 every hour. The DGC pool doesn't have vardiff support either, so that can't explain this.

One more: 166,330 to 166,149. 1 hour passed, only 198 shares. There are other examples but I think I've made my point.

I really wish you had simply responded to my emails, as I hate to be 'that guy' bitching about someone else in a public forum, but I don't feel like I have any other choice.

I seem to be experiencing a similar problem with valid shares and current khash rate not being properly displayed from within my customer portal. I am currently throwing ~660khash at your pool...and it appears as though I have received only a single payout for 6.00memecoins at present.  

*I will go ahead and let it run for another hour or two and see if any additional payouts are forthcoming.

I registered on the fast.ub3rl33t.com and after registering and setting up the workers I noticed the note to use fast.minepool.net.  You should add the fast.minepool.net to the 1st post here to save everyone some time and to advertise the server.

I did move over to fast.minepool.net and like it so far.  I have not been on it very long but I got lucky and found a block with "1" share to it. I found several other blocks and just when the server was really running good the miner with 8+MH/s decides to leave, slowly.  He removed workers one at a time and we went from 11MH/s down to 3.38MH/s.  Still finding blocks, but not as fast now.

The server runs great, is very fast to respond, and pays well.  Just need some more miners.

Go to http://fast.minepool.net to register.  All the miner config info is on the pages after you login.

Thanks!  Things are running smoothly with all the pools now.  There was an issue with one of our servers where it ran out of disk space and a few pools were affected.  The problem was fixed and nothing was lost.  Payouts were made and things are back to normal.  The pools affected were as follows:

fast.ub3rl33t.com  (http://fast.ub3rl33t.com)

wdc.ub3rl33t.com (http://wdc.ub3rl33t.com)

franko.ub3rl33t.com (http://franko.ub3rl33t.com)

dgc.ub3rl33t.com (http://dgc.ub3rl33t.com)

sbc.ub3rl33t.com (http://sbc.ub3rl33t.com)

meme.ub3rl33t.com (http://meme.ub3rl33t.com)

ezc.minepool.net (http://ezc.minepool.net)

They are all functioning properly now.

For anyone interested, Don't run your Mysql server in replication mode (which is default) without the proper set up to purge the massive bin files that will result!  Problem solved.

As i saw this pool give a lot less reward to you.
I was mining fast in this pool and receiving just 1000 FST day.... I changed pool and now i receive 2600 - 3000 FST day.
I also checked difficulty and is increased when i changed the pool (LOOOL).
I think there is something they don't write (maybe indicated pool fees are not true?)

I am diffenately having a problem with FST.  Mining at about 500k and not getting squat.  Hours and hours and only 14 FST?  Also, I am showing about 550k most of the time on my end, but my stats never show me above 400k.  Going to have to find another pool I guess, or switch coins.

I think we're missing the "uncounted shares" # which clearly states tons of shared backed up. maybe this system is just backed up because they don't have the bank to cover immediate payouts?

We'll have to review these pools, Fastcoin, Megacoin, AnonCoin, FrankoCoin.  They were running great for over a month , until a week ago when we got a LOT of traffic.  The coins are getting paid out because we are getting less and less from the fees.  It will take some time to look at how the payouts have distributed amongst the miners.  I suggest you move to other pools as we will most likely reinvent the core code to use the stratum server to do more along the lines of alerting block discovery immediately without cron job polling of the coin client.  Other things need to be optimized for when we get large hashing power.  Once we got over 300mhs on a pool.. it stopped behaving normally.  We are not scamming!  We are not short coins on any pool, and we are not even holding any more than the fees should have produced.  Somehow even we are getting screwed here and we are working on finding out why.

Sorry that previous comment was probably a bit blunter than it needed to be.

Consider it a by-product of my frustrations that any kind of ETA would go a long way to alleviating this.

I like the pool, especially the reward for block finders. More pools should have this perk.

Am I mistaken that the pool hash rate has dropped quite a lot?

I am currently using the Alphacoin pool, but something is not working right.  For hours and hours, two blocks show no more confirmations.  Block 122,811 shows as 76 more confirmations required and Block 122,806 shows as 71 confirmations left.  They have been at those numbers since mid morning.

What's wrong?

To attract miners to your pools without being unfair, a good idea is to give the 5% (or whatever % is right) randomly to a miner that helped solve the block. Like that big or small hashers all have an equal opportunity  :P

Title: GoldCoin is a ripoff
Post by: Aurum on November 25, 2013, 10:19:02 AM
I mined GoldCoin all day yesterday in Tom's Pool.

My Reject rate was over 90% orphans.

GLD was designed to steal from hard working miners. It's total scam.

The returns on CoinWarz are a total fiction because they completely ignore stales and orphans.

If you mine GLD you will be paying for electricity and getting nothing in return.

Do NOT mine GoldCoin.

During the period when goldcoin was throwing so many orphans, some coins got to up to 15 confirms then turned into orphans.. no joke   ask around.  So what ended up happening at our pool is some of the pending payout amounts got stuck there since the coins they were from turned orphans.  All has been behaving normal since the orphan issue stopped and the change at 117,000 block.  You are always going to have that amount stuck there since the pool doesn't have coins for the blocks they were from.. orphaned.  email me.  I have a miner at my pool and have the same thing.  do we all agree the pool is working fine the last 2 days now the coin's network has stabilized?

Goldcoin

http://gld.cryptcoins.net/

Quote
The Finder of the block gets 2% of the block.
(quote pasted from site)

I'm mining there currently and noticed this oversight based on the OP's post title.  Just thought I'd point that out...

Good pool minus all the orphans lately, but I imagine that's due to the code update yesterday and everyone playing catch-up.  The expected output/hashrate seems to be quite high though, which is disconcertingly misleading, but I'll stick with it for another 24hrs and see what happens.  I'm putting ~78kh/s towards that pool and it's target is ~34GLD/day, but reality is more like 5GLD/day it seems.  Hopefully, it'll get at least close to the expectation published...

Is there a trouble with the grandcoin pool or the pool just updating its stats super slow?

I've been mining for almost half an hour and yet the stats still show 1/3 of my hash rate and it is not increasing. The rewards stats also not updating.
Also, hash rate shown is the slowest i've seen. On other pools, usually after 2-3 minutes of hashing it will reflect my hashrate. This one is not.

Please fix it ASAP.

Thanks.

************** WARNING ***************

The grandcoin pool advertised in the OP (http://grand.cryptcoins.net/) is either broken or a scam.
I spend all of last night mining with 1800 K hash/s and all I made was 250 grandcoins, my estimated earning were well into the thousands.

In a 9 hour period the pool found a grand total of 11 blocks and I got around 2.5% of each block, for a coin with blocks every 45 seconds only finding 11 blocks in a 9 hour period is just terrible. Stay away from this rip off for now people.

Post by: MarKusRomanus on December 15, 2013, 09:36:28 AM
Grandcoin and goldcoin pools not performing to the estimates.  No complaints on all other pools. We are looking into those 2 pools.
We feel it is the coins themselves.  Try other pools for these coins.. we are hearing the same is happening at other pools.


Title: Re: [ANN] Proportional Payout Pools with 5% Finder Reward
Post by: fablkak on December 15, 2013, 12:24:17 PM
I am yet to find a grandcoin pool that delivers anywhere near their own expected return so yes, it's not just that pool however my earnings on that particular pool were substantially lower than expected, around 10% of stated expectation.

Earlier when I said either a scam or broken, I'm leaning towards broken. Everyone in the mining world seems very quick to point the finger and yell shenanigans and that's understandable because pool mining is really just like trusting a stranger on the internet with your money.

Let me know if your grandcoin pool gets fixed and I'll happily try again.

We've been looking it over (our pool ) and we can't find anything wrong yet.  We notice that cryptsy is even having issues with this coin and (as of this writing) has suspended and removed grandcoin from their platform.

2 things to keep in mind (and we aren't saying these 2 things are all there is to blame for grandcoin/goldcoin mining pool problems) :

1- coins where difficulty changes often will never have accurate per day estimates.
2- coins where orphans are abundant will never have accurate per day estimates.

still the same for both of these coins it seems.....ran about 14 hours on grandcoin with 1.5Mh/s and only got about 1500 coins.....so its looking approx 15-20% of estimated value....so whats the best place to point about 2Mh/s lately?

what you are saying doesn't make any sense. maybe you could explain in more detail what you think is happening.  Which gaben pool are you referring to? there are 2.

Gaben pool is ok, but fastminepool persist, the miner bgomes invalidate all shares from other miners, this pool need a db stats cleanup too, thanks!

Thanks for supporting us!

I like the blockfinder reward idea. I always feel a little screwed when I find a block with my measly rig and don't get nothing extra. I know that's illogical and basically wrong, but still, this is cool :D See you when I get my gridseeds!

Meanwhile, in my official capacity, Team Earthcoin is glad to have you!

I believe part of the problem is the low hashrate.  At ~24Mh we just don't have enough hashing power to solve the blocks before they become orphaned.

Now that the hashrate is over 47Mh we should see fewer orphaned blocks.

That is my understanding . . . of course I could be wrong.

This pool didnt work for me.
I was supposed to get 1k Neocoins after 24 hours and after 36 hours I got only 250 neocoins.

Do you have a problem or I will get the rest of the coin later?

I moved my machines to another coin because I am losing money with this pool.

What was your hashrate?  What you state seems extreme.  now due to difficulty changes and the 30+% orphan rate, the estimates won't be accurate.

I'm having a similar problem.
I am hashing at 2200 kh/s plus, which should translate to ~900 NEC/day according to both CoinWarz and your site, but I am receiving FAR less than that. In the past 20 hrs, for example, I have only received 103 NEC.
The orphan rate is much lower now than it was previously, so it's not that. Something just doesn't seem to be adding up right.
Hoping you could please look into this.

I don't know what to tell you in regards to our neocoin pool.  I'd be happy just shutting it down.. somehow we are loosing coins in that pool.  after shutting it down for a while.. we got emails to turn it back on.  We just updated the client to version, v2.2.1.  Neocoin it nothing but problems for us, but people want the pool up.

Has you balance change to reflect the withdraw?  Are you waiting for it to show up in your target wallet address?  Xencoin has forked.

No change to reflect, was trying to send the sum of what is there to cryptsy, but if its a lost cause then no worries.

We sent about 10,000 to cryptsy and it never got to cryptsy.. yes it is an unfortunate loss.. we email those who were mining to stop and just recently turned off the stratum.
